      - Opening new rules for the server ports in firewall settings
      - allowing same ports in my router
      - using hamachi instead
      - using the nosteam.bat instead
      nothing worked yet and my friend is getting the same message in any case.

      Are you trying to host a modded server? The first time initializing takes a long time when you have a lot of mods installed (for me usually it takes around 25 - 30 mins with the amount of mods I have.) You just need to wait and let it run. Speed may also depend on your PC's specs.

  • @Lambreket
    @Lambreket 3 місяці тому

    What to do with mod updates? Players have their mod updated automatically, but the server does not. Because of this, the server does not allow you to play because of different versions of mods. Restart helps, but modders update mods at different times and a scheduled restart will not help much. Because you will have to wait until the restart, or call the administrator for a restart.
